American Woodcock

When what to my wondering eyes should appear.....here is today's unexpected sighting - an American Woodcock in my yard!

The woodcock was digging into the snow/leaf litter in one of the areas where I spread birdseed.

A turkey noticed the woodcock and got very upset - apparently turkeys hate woodcocks. Who knew? The turkey ran around and then entered a staring contest with the woodcock. After a short time the woodcock blinked and got chased away.

The woodcock soon reappeared in a different, turkey-free area.
